Sunny but a cool breeze.
This time there were maps available, quite a few. The maps actually detail some of the more interesting rock formations not the toys!
It also made it easier not to spend too much time trying to find your way out.
Good fun when you misread the map and get lost though.
The rock formations are quite extraordinary. The map and guide give details of how it all came about.

Not hard to see why it was selected as one of the shooting locations for Lord of the Rings.
Rain, sun and wind have worked over 25 million years to create this natural maze. Fascinating structures and the small "hidden" toys provide added interest for children young and old. Map and brochures at the entrance, but recommend taking a photo of the maze map before entering, particularly if the brochures have not all managed to be returned by previous visitors. The added bonuses are that entrance to the maze is free [donations appreciated] and it is open 24/7 [but a torch would be a must after sundown].

A great little stop. Fascinating rock formations and plant growth. We lost count of the number of toys secreted along the way. No maps at the start as some have noted before. Perhaps because summer is not here yet. I doubt the maps would have all the toys anyway, there are so many.

This cute little nature maze of rocks is a real treasure.
Though it is great for children, people of all ages will enjoy this. The sandstone creates tunnels and passages through native bush.

The cutest things to fin, in an amazing set of sculpted rocks.
It is vast so you can easily spend an hour.

Very nice shaded walk between rocks and vegetation.
The kids, 3 and 5 years old, liked it very much. For the first time no complaining because of walking. You can spend half an hour to 1.5 hour in this Labyrinth. The hidden toys are everywhere, but sometimes a little too high for them. You can get a map at the entrance, please recycle them!
